This post leads on Personnel Security matters within Army HQ, on behalf of the Army’s Principal Security Advisor (PSyA).

Coordinate activity relating to high threat personnel and protected populations

Appropriate training courses will be provided to ensure the candidate has the skills and knowledge required to perform the role. The MOD offers support and development in your career, including training as part of your role. In the Army we are passionate about delivering great things for our people.
